News and Agenda

A

WUaS seeks students for this autumn 2017, first in English for free CC best STEM OCW bachelor degrees (accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC)

 - and for this we need a better web site. 

Seek a group of matriculating WUaS 17 year old students through the 

• Quaker I.B. Ramallah School and Joyce Ajlouny there (whom I've met in Palo Alto Friends Meeting in person), among others including too other Quaker schools, re a Quaker I.B. school partly in Arabic (importantly, since MIT OCW is only in Persian and Turkish of the large languages in the Middle East)?
• John Palfrey at Phillips Academy Andover?
• India high schools (since many speak English in India)?

... as if applying to, getting into and matriculating at MIT itself.

B

Develop accreditation plan - perhaps first with FAHE / Quakers and then WASC senior

C

World University and School again is proceeding to file for-profit legal papers (WUaS.com?) with the state of California and the US government, FORKING in the process to complement our current 501 c 3 Non-Profit status (WUaS.org > WUaS.edu) into a parallel organization with a separate board. WUaS's forking will take shape around these 14 Planned Revenue Streams - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html. WUaS is planning to become CC Universities on its non-profit wing ((WUaS.org/worlduniversityandschool.org > WUaS.edu)) in all ~200 countries' main and official languages - the "Harvards of the Web."

D

How best to incorporate the for-profit WUaS wing legally, such that, hypothetically and exploration-wise, WUaS.com could work with / merge with an organization like Global Education Holdings and could work with its Chair Tom Kalinske: Building Gaming and Entertainment Companies in this Stanford business talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr7_lJ7J6T8

 .. while WUaS.org > WUaS.edu develops in a parallel way as a Creative Commons' 501 c 3 non-profit, also in all ~200 countries / territories online?

E

File for-profit papers and develop this side too of WUaS - and perhaps re Wikidata affiliates

F

Develop WUaS newly in Wikidata / Wikibase / MediaWiki

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#What_World_University_and_School_would_like_to_add_to_Wikidata

G

There were no changes in WUaS finances since last month's statement of 12/28/16

H

Communicate further with MIT Dean C d'O in their Office of Digital Learning, who was helpful this past spring

I

Sign up for Grants.gov

Write grants to Foundations: 

• Apply to / inquire with Sunlight Foundation is one first step, for example. 

J

Discussion of a personnel issue

K

Closure

Free, Creative Commons' licensed, online, wiki WUaS, like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, is planned for all 3,000-8,000 languages and for around 204 countries, with free degrees accrediting on C.C. MIT OpenCourseWare in 7 languages and C.C. Yale OYC+, - and will help many, many people.
